Donald Trump is a peace maker by nature. He is not a war monger. He seeks an end to the Ukraine/Russia conflict while democrats want it to go on forever.
The arrogant and pompous Volodymyr Zelenskyy keeps making things difficult. One day he says the war can go on for years and the next day claims he’s ready to negotiate an end. It’s hard to keep up. Putin is Putin. Both are largely intractable.
After Zelenskyy’s showboating at the White House I remarked in a few venues that I would not be surprised to see Putin ramp up the war, and that is exactly what happened yesterday.
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russia attacked Ukrainian energy facilities with dozens of missiles and drones during the night, officials said Friday, hobbling the country’s ability to deliver heat and light to its citizens and to power weapons factories vital to its defenses.
The overnight barrage — which also pounded residences and wounded at least 10 people — came days after the U.S. suspended military aid and intelligence to Ukraine to pressure it into accepting a peace deal being pushed by the Trump administration. Without U.S. intelligence, Ukraine’s ability to strike inside Russia and defend itself from bombardment is significantly diminished.
Zelenskyy at one point said Ukraine was ready to go it alone. Putin sent a message.
Trump wants a settlement, which is inevitable. Zelenskyy, boosted by democrats who have no skin in the game, was holding out but now has finally (maybe) seen the light and relented. He now claims to seek a truce as a first step in terminating the conflict.
He best take a deal. Ukraine is losing the war and it is running out of bodies. Fighting aged men have left the country and Ukraine is conducting conscription raids to scoop us unwilling soldiers. PM Keir Starmer of England says he’s ready to put soldiers on the ground in Ukraine. Good luck with that.
To nudge Zelenskyy to accept a deal, Trump has paused both munitions and intelligence to Ukraine.
But Russia’s new aggression has displeased Trump. Trump has threatened a new wave of sanctions
WASHINGTON — President Trump threatened massive sanctions against Russia Friday over its continued attacks on Ukraine as he attempts to broker a cease-fire — before predicting later in the day that Vladimir Putin would be “more generous than he has to be” in peace talks.
“Based on the fact that Russia is absolutely ‘pounding’ Ukraine on the battlefield right now, I am strongly considering large scale Banking Sanctions, Sanctions, and Tariffs on Russia until a Cease Fire and FINAL SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON PEACE IS REACHED,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
“To Russia and Ukraine, get to the table right now, before it is too late. Thank you!!!”
It’s the Trump pincers action. He is flanking both Ukraine and Russia.
Ultimately, few will be happy with the settlement, especially the democrats (and Republicans) profiting from the war. Ukraine is going to have to accept that Russia is going to keep much of pro-Moscow territory it holds now, but I expect Trump to insist Russia make some sort of concession. Ukraine will get a mineral rights agreement with the US that will help Ukraine rebuild while inherently assuring security for itself.
The war has been a stalemate for three years and it needs to end. The dying needs to end before an entire generation of young Ukrainian men is erased from history.
When this is done Trump will have earned a Nobel Peace Prize, but it will almost certainly awarded to some unknown transgender protester instead.
DrJohn has been a health care professional for more than 40 years. In addition to clinical practice he has done extensive research and has published widely with over 70 original articles and abstracts in the peer-reviewed literature. DrJohn is well known in his field and has lectured on every continent except for Antarctica. He has been married to the same wonderful lady for over 45 years and has three kids- two sons, both of whom are attorneys and one daughter who is in the field of education.
DrJohn was brought up with the concept that one can do well if one is prepared to work hard but nothing in life is guaranteed.
Except for liberals being foolish.
The left can’t hold a candle to Trump’s capabilities, what he is accomplishing and what he hopes to accomplish. Everything they are about is aimed at collecting power and wielding it oppressively.
And we have the pathetically moronic Macron with his 200 nukes trying to impress Putin who has 6000 of them. Nukes ,Macron, where is your sanity?
As well as a much smaller country with a much denser population.
If I were married to his… whatever… I would be suicidal, as well.
Any world leader that talks seriously about nukes need a guillotine.
But does Putin want him? He’s probably seen the video of the munchkin playing the piano.
Oh Macron France is more worried about people calling his wife a dude! He’s paying up $10 million to the press to get if I’m not mistaken to get TikTok and others to remove any feedback or comments of his husband just like big Mike not being a chick! In fact, doesn’t want anybody to know that she molested them and had sex with them allegedly When she taught him. And then there’s all this rumor of their child. I still think she’s a dude.
Plus, look at the Olympics! Say no more sick freaks
